Shoeless & Clueless

August 26, 2010

Empathy is the ability to put yourself into another person’s shoes.

A lack of empathy is to render the other person shoeless,

& yourself, clueless.

    haha….dun bother to emphatise a “shoeless” person. I mean, one who doesn’t know or fit to put on shoes! Not worth it.

    Elvin, what does this means?
    “A lack of empathy is to render the other person shoeless,

    & yourself, clueless.”

    I always believe that we should put ourselves into others’ shoes, treat others the way we wanna be treated. Empathy is not there if you are not sincere. Pure listening without empathy=listening, whereas listening with empathy=understanding.
    I like this word and your 1st sentence, but how many ppl can achieve that?
    At my workplace, i dun sense empathy amongst em though we are in community work! How do we educate the next generation? ? ?

    如果每个人都能设身处地的为他人着想,这世界就会变得真美好。

    我以真诚的态度去对待大家,换来的有是什么呢?

    好人难当。。。

    I like this! “Empathy is the ability to put yourself into another person’s shoes”.

    I believe we should always put ourselves in other people’s shoes! For eg. if one likes to bully others so much, he/she should self-reflect and think about how others felt when being bullied! then they will know it’s not right to bully others because you won’t want other people to treat you the way
    you treated other people right…

    I always believed in what goes around, comes around.
    If you’re sincerely nice to people, they can feel it and treat you the same way back. vice versa, if you’re mean and always bullying others, i believe someday, someone will somehow give you the same treatment back.

    But no matter what.. life still goes on. no point spoiling our own mood for people who are just not worth it!
    So like i always say, smile always! Stay happy no matter what.
    Life is short! why bother those who aren’t worth it hehe.
    Just live our life to the fullest everyday! ;)

    Cheers!
    Smile always :D
    With lots of love,
    Yuting.

    “Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.” Jack Handey.

    Although no wisdom is gained, but if we’re just abit more clueless, that can mean less hurt and more happiness. Maybe.. Being clueless might not be that afterall.

    其实,懂得同情别人,尽管那个人没有给予任何回报,自己也不至于会毫无头绪或迷失,懂得同情别人的人,他的心灵是富足的,得到这一切的反思,才能继续向前行,Elvin, 加油!

    I learnt that we have to see things from different angles. Try standing in other people’s shoes and we will know how they are feel etc. It will actually makes us think and see wider…

    ” 带我远走高飞
    不去理会这一个蜚短流长的世界布满虚伪
    带我远走高飞
    一起去追有一个叫作幸福的世界没有泪水
    我已经感觉到疲累只想在你怀抱入睡 “

    我想请教你一个问题可以吗??

    去年,有一次去科学室,我就看到桌上好像有水,就把他扫掉,过后就发现很神奇,一粒一粒的,就靠近一点看,还去摸。。。才发现那是水银。。。起初我也没怎样,洗了手就算了。。。过后我的老师就说水银是有毒的。。。我很害怕。。。

    请问,水银中毒有什么后果?有什么症状?要多久才会开始恶化?有没有治疗的方法?
